ABOUT ME

I studied commercial and fashion photography all through school and always had plans to immediately move to NYC and be successful. Well. I found out I wasn't quite sure if success would make me as happy. Last summer when I was living out of a backpack on the Oregon coast I realized all I wanted was to experience life as much as possible, and I want to meet anyone and everyone with a heart to experience the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Work your butt off for what you want and spend your money on what makes you happy. Don't confuse happiness with success.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a lunar eclipse while in Africa. The image is still burned in my brain. I wanted so badly to take a photo, but my feet couldn't move. My tripod and camera lay only feet away from me in my tent, but I couldn't look away. The sky was as black as you can imagine, and all the starts glowed a piercing white with a pulsating blue ora around. I saw 10 shooting stars in that few minutes while the moon was eclipsed. I have yet to ever experience anything even close to that sublime.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to talk about my experiences of where I've been. I could swap stories all day. The times when I have found myself exploring with the locals and finding the non-touristy things about a place that no-one else gets to see, those are my favorite.
